Git Is So Easy

Git Is So Easy
OH. MY. GOD. The bell curve of Git users is the most SAVAGE reality check ever! 😭 On the left and right edges? Those blessed, innocent souls with their simple git add/commit/push commands living in blissful ignorance. MUST BE NICE! But that poor tortured soul in the middle? HONEY, that's the rest of us drowning in a nightmare soup of --autosquash , --no-ff , and --strategy=recursive while our tears literally stream down our faces as we try to fix the unholy mess we've created. The absolute DRAMA of git replace bad-commit good-commit is sending me. Like, yes, please replace my terrible life choices with good ones while you're at it!

Why Is Perforce Still Used In The Games Industry?

Why Is Perforce Still Used In The Games Industry?
The eternal struggle of game developers everywhere: trying to spot the difference between CRLF and LF line endings while Perforce gleefully ignores them as "identical" during merges. Nothing like spending 3 hours debugging why your build is failing only to discover it's because Windows and Unix decided to have a philosophical debate about how lines should end. And yet somehow, this prehistoric version control system that can't tell the difference between line endings is still the industry standard. Legacy code and "but we've always done it this way" strikes again!

Add More Integrant Is Not Always The Answer

Add More Integrant Is Not Always The Answer
Ah, the classic "too many cooks" scenario but with programmers! The left shows a beautifully simple, straight railway track representing your solo coding journey—clean, predictable, and headed in one clear direction. Then management decides that "adding more programmers will speed things up," and suddenly your elegant project transforms into that chaotic railway junction on the right—a tangled mess of conflicting ideas, merge conflicts, and "but on MY machine it works perfectly." It's the software development equivalent of trying to make a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. Some problems just don't scale linearly with headcount, and codebases are notoriously allergic to sudden influxes of new contributors who each bring their own "brilliant" ideas to the table.

Rebase Is Not That Bad

Rebase Is Not That Bad
First panel: Developers screaming at git rebase like it's some kind of monster. Second panel: Violently attacking it anyway because the team lead said so. Third panel: Reluctantly doing a pull rebase because there's no other choice. Fourth panel: That weird dopamine hit when your commit history is suddenly all clean and linear instead of looking like spaghetti thrown at a wall. Fun fact: The average developer spends 43% of their career avoiding rebases until they finally try it once and become insufferable evangelists about it.

Commit Messages Are For Nerds

Commit Messages Are For Nerds
When your coworker casually drops a commit labeled "Small Fixes" that changes 12,566 lines and deletes 10,508 lines. The shock and horror! That's not a small fix—that's reconstructive surgery on the codebase! Future you will be digging through git blame wondering what nuclear explosion happened that day. And good luck with the code review... "LGTM" is about to become "Let God Take Me."

Me Merging On A Monday

Me Merging On A Monday
The AUDACITY of Monday merges! First you're all confident, strutting around like you're God's gift to version control with your git commit -m "feature done mf" . Then BOOM! Reality slaps you in the face—87 DIFFERENT COMMITS between your branch and production?! THE HORROR! You desperately try git pull --rebase like it's some magical incantation that will save your pathetic developer soul. Those moments of sheer panic as Git does its thing... will your code survive this unholy ritual?! And then—SWEET MERCIFUL BYTES—it actually works! That relief when Git tells you it's successful is better than any drug known to mankind. You've survived another Monday merge. At least until next week, you beautiful disaster.

It's Only Bad When Others Do It

It's Only Bad When Others Do It
The sweet bliss of chaos delegation! Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like pushing an 8000-line code monstrosity to GitHub and immediately entering hibernation mode. Your colleagues will wake up to that absolute unit of a pull request while you're dreaming peacefully, completely disconnected from the impending code review apocalypse. The perfect crime doesn't exi— Meanwhile, when someone else does this to you, it's suddenly a war crime worthy of The Hague. Funny how that works.

I Thought They Git Commit Before Going Home

I Thought They Git Commit Before Going Home
The ancient Egyptians built massive, geometrically precise pyramids that have lasted thousands of years, and here we are wondering how they managed without git commit -m "moved stone block #4,392 up ramp" . Imagine the merge conflicts when two teams tried to build the same corner! No pull requests, no branches, just pure chaos. And when something went wrong? No git reset --hard to save you - that stone block is staying exactly where you dropped it, buddy. The pharaoh probably had the ancient equivalent of "It works on my tomb" syndrome.

The Git Headache: Stronger Than Migraine

The Git Headache: Stronger Than Migraine
Regular headaches have nothing on the sheer existential dread of accidentally merging your dev branch into production. The pain is so intense your entire head turns into a glowing red error message. That moment when you realize what you've done and frantically Google "how to undo git push force without getting fired" while your Slack notifications explode with increasingly panicked messages from your team. The best part? This is your 57th time doing it. Either you're incredibly persistent or spectacularly bad at learning from mistakes. Version control: controlling your version of events when explaining to your boss why everything is broken.

It Scares Me: Git Rebase Edition

It Scares Me: Git Rebase Edition
The brave warrior claims to "fear no man," but immediately cowers at the mention of "git rebase." And rightfully so! Rebasing rewrites commit history—like a time traveler stepping on a butterfly, you might accidentally create 47 merge conflicts and an alternate timeline where your project never existed. Senior devs break into cold sweats when forced to rebase a long-lived feature branch. The command should come with its own horror movie soundtrack and a dialog box that asks "Are you ABSOLUTELY certain? Your teammates might hunt you down."

The Hostage Taker

The Hostage Taker
That moment when your code review turns into an interrogation session. "I see you've implemented this feature without documentation... interesting . Now, before I approve your PR, tell me what you thought about that React conference keynote? Didn't catch it? What a shame. Looks like this merge might take a while..." The dark side of open source maintainers that GitHub doesn't want you to see.

Version Control Nightmare

Version Control Nightmare
That face when someone suggests replacing Git with Excel. The silent scream of a thousand merge conflicts yet to come. Next they'll propose using PowerPoint for CI/CD pipelines because "it has nice transitions." Some people just want to watch the world burn—one corrupted spreadsheet at a time.
